| International Standard Version | New Living Translation |
| 1Those who are trusting in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be overthrown. They remain forever. | 1Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. |
| 2Just as mountains encircle Jerusalem, so the LORD encircles his people, from now to eternity. | 2Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever. |
| 3For evil's scepter will not rest on the land that has been allotted to the righteous, and so the righteous will not direct themselves to do wrong. | 3The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. |
| 4LORD, do good to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart. | 4O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. |
| 5But for those who choose their own devious paths, the LORD will lead them away, along with those who practice evil. Peace be upon Israel. | 5But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O LORD. Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace! |
